We are back in the fields again. Planted and disked yesterday. Today we are disking so we can have the sprayer in to put on the fertilizer and herbicide. The rye is being mowed also, since we are running low on hay, that is the cheaper way to go. Went to the Kewanee Sale Barn for hay Friday night and the cost was pretty high. The hay was going for $3.00-$7.50 a bale. When you need as much as we do that is a little high for us.

Found two baby lambs in the barn this morning. The nursery in the barn is back in use again. We had 2 mamma's in there with their 2 lambs so they have company finally. My list of chores is growing with the tractors in the fields. Supper will be after dark tonight for sure!
